1.2 Needs to fix Sentinel, Tanking, and XI Class-ism.

[RemVye]

Personally I don't think it's about making this game easier. Grinding isn't hard, it just takes time. And for some people leveling a class only for couple abilities is a timesink that is not worth it.

Anyways it's still a personal matter. If you (directed @OP) being denied because of a skill means to you so much, I would believe that should be enough motivation to level to get that skill.

Truth...

To be honest, I had to level mages and I don't like them. Even if I wanted to solo efficiently, I needed to level mages. And you really have it easy now, you can get from 1-50 in a matter of days. You only have to get to 36 for Sentinel.

People talking about hellfire damage like if it were game breaking. Sentinel is much mo useful to counter other aspects of the fight than a survivable hit. Sentinel really shines when you get animation locked on p3 and after

I apologize for being behind the times on the battle info, but what is the animation lock? I've done the fight a few times, and while I probably did experience it, I'm not quite sure what exactly it is.

hey i have an idea:

lets get rid of the armory system all together and only allow a character to lvl 1 class

thats what everyone wants right? cause they want to be able to use their main class and main class only

and not use the armory to its full potential by learning cross-class skills that are not only beneficial to urself but to your whole party

its simple; time + effort = rewards

welcome to the worst idea list

Go up to a monster and hit a weaponskill... while that skill is going off (being animated on your screen) try to run away because (use your imagination here) a big explosive pillar of fire is about to consume your character.

You can't move while a WS is being animated... i.e. animation lock.

I believe that Animation Lock refers to when you use an ability or weaponskill and are completely unable to move until the animation is over. As such, it's important to time your ability use so that you aren't stuck in a Doomspike when a plume or an eruption is happening.

That is possibly the dumbest suggestion I've ever seen.

Sarcasm is a foreign language to both of you.

I don't have sentinel and I survive Hellfire every time. Even on my THM with 2557 HP...

Not to mention I've beat ifrit about 20 times now..

it the people who cant think on there feet and have to have a predetermined plan if one thing is out of there sync its a lost cause, like that in all mmo's.
